Introduction: various studies have shown that the Project-Based Learning (PBL) has a significant impact on learning across different educational levels. However, there is an empirical gap, particularly regarding the implementation of PBL in early childhood education. Research in this age is still limited, especially in evaluating the impact of PBL on early childhood motor skills.
Objective: this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of PBL in improving gross and fine motor skills in early childhood. The main focus of this study is to encouraging the development of childrens’ entrepreneurial spirit through activities such as batik making, exploring the garden, and games.
Methodology: this research uses a pre-test and post-test experimental design to evaluate changes in motor skills quantitatively. The participants consist of 10 early childhood from TK Islam Nibras and 10 early childhood from TK Lentera Qolbu.
Results: the analysis results show that early childhood involved in PBL activities experienced significant improvement in coordination, body balance, large muscle strength, as well as the ability to complete tasks requiring hand precision and hand-eye coordination.
Conclusions: it is important for teachers to tailor the projects to each child's needs and abilities, and to provide an environment that supports their motor development.
